Google downgrades AI Plus plan: Pro models locked out from November 13, 2026

A Reddit user shared Google's email announcing that starting November 13, 2026, access to Pro models in the Gemini app and AI Mode in Google Search will be restricted to Google AI Pro subscribers and above. AI Plus users keep only Flash-Lite and Flash. "Google has all my data. The least they can do is offer some reasonable AI for my plus plan," the user complained — a notable paywall tightening for existing subscribers.
